| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? What dac are you using ? I would hope at least $5k+ if you are willing to spend $2-3k on interconnects ,much much more important to say buy the latest Best Buy @audioman58 i have 2 DACs occasionally rotated in the main system; Chord QBD76 ... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? Thanks for all suggestions which are greatly appreciated. I was looking at the Wireworld Gold Eclipse 8 but was recommended the Platinum 8 instead. Need to sell a kidney to get those. Perhaps I'll reassess my priorities. @lalitk currently in the ... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? No, I don’t have a $100 XLR cable on hand so I’m asking for experiences here. I usually don't consider cables below $500 for the main system. | |
| Graham LS5/9 vs Harbeth M30.2 and SHL5 Plus Yes, Harbeth more listenable with low listening fatigue although it sounds a little warm at times. Currently I am getting some brightness in the treble with the Graham with most recordings. I managed to reduce this glare or brightness a little by... | |
| Graham LS5/9 vs Harbeth M30.2 and SHL5 Plus Right folks. I’ve had the Graham LS5/9 for about a week. Owned Harbeth SHL5 and SHL5+ for 13 years and heard the Harbeth C7ES3, M30, 30.1 and 30.2. The Graham to me is a more truthful or accurate monitor speaker than the Harbeth equivalent M30.1 ... | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes Are you using the sub when watching an action-packed blockbuster movie? | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable I swapped the 8100 and 9700 between the amp and source and prefer the 8100 on the DAC and 9700 on the amp. A slightly livelier and more open sound and an overall more balanced presentation. That’s a lot of top Acrolink cables you have there. I wo... | |
| NAIM 282/250DR/HC2DR against Accuphase E5000 @chayro I was not referring to your post when I made the comment. I was referring to the OP’s post mentioning about the Supernait 3. Yes, I agree that the result with the SN3 wouldn’t be too good when it's matched with the Kudos speaker. Most Na... | |
| NAIM 282/250DR/HC2DR against Accuphase E5000 Naim integrateds are not very good. True Naim quality starts from 282/250DR in my book. If you want to go integrated, look at other alternatives such as Accuphase, Luxman, Pass Labs etc. The Accuphase E-5000 and Naim 282/250DR would sound quite d... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB Jafant, Thanks. The WW Platinum Starlight 8 seems to have the edge in areas of transparency and detail in comparison to the Tellurium Q Ultra Silver. I haven’t switched back to the Tell-Q to reconfirm my impressions and will do so sometime. Never... | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 Hi Jafant, The Wireworld cables are sounding great with the Luxman DA-06 DAC particularly the Silver Electra 7 at it neutralized the warmth of the DAC by providing a more open sound with better clarity and detail in the midrange and treble. With ... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable Propulsive drive in the bass is a better description for the Acrolink 8N-PC8100 power cable. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable Yes, it’s quite costly. To date, this is the costliest power cable I currently own. I bought it new here on the Gon about 2 years ago. It may sound crazy but this Acrolink cord actually costs higher than the Chord QBD76 DAC that’s connected to it.... | |
| Wireworld Thanks for the response. |
